restoring continence, sexual wellness & physical health to people of all ages
This book - Prostate Recovery Map 3rd ed - is an action plan for men who want more than just survival, who want a quality of life that makes prostate surgery worthwhile. Men who are prepared to work at their own recovery to regain continence, sexual activity and lifestyle. Written by Men's Health Physiotherapist - Craig Allingham.
Just Released - 3rd Edition!! Seriously? A men's health book into it's third edition? Unheard of but true.
The first edition of Prostate Recovery MAP - Men's Action Plan sold out. Twice. Likewise the second edition. Now with recent advances in treatment, survivorship and the increasing range of men being diagnosed with prostate cancer an update was required.
The goal remains the same - helping men work on their recovery from treatment for their prostate disease and regain continence and/or erectile function. Using my clinical program of pelvic floor muscle training based on 40 years of work as a sports physiotherapist (I know, a hamstring is not a pelvic floor but muscles is muscles) I am confident every man who applies himself to the program will improve.
Treatment for prostate cancer is a tough gig. The side effects and slow recovery for many men are even tougher. Why go through all that and not make life on the other side more enjoyable and fulfilling by investing some time and effort on retraining. Not just your pelvic floor but also your general health and fitness. Research shows that physical training can improve post-cancer outcomes for men, especially training that is age and condition specific - the Men's Action Plan.
This book won't do the work for you but it will steer you in the right direction and give you the tools to make a difference.

For men, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and probably the one that strikes the most fear as the treatment often results in symptoms worse and more life-changing than the actual cancer. Far better to not need treatment in the first place, which is exactly what this book will help with.
A/Prof. Craig Allingham is a leading men's health physiotherapist keen to avoid prostate cancer surgery or radiation despite his genetic risk of the disease. He has researched the strategies all men can use to prevent, suppress and undermine prostate cancer by modifying their inputs, outputs and throughputs.
The Prostate Playbook is your strategic guide to living prostate cancer free and thus avoiding the side-effects of treatment such as incontinence, erectile dysfunction and depression. It is a daily playbook to keep your prostate. Healthy.
REVIEWS
Dr Michael Gilman, one of Australia’s most respected Men’s Health doctors – ‘Erection problems and urinary incontinence are two of the main problems that can occur after treatment for prostate cancer. Both can be minimised with correct rehabilitation programs. This book is a “must read” for any man facing treatment for this condition.’
David Sandoe OAM, National Chairman Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia – ‘Comprehensively says all the right things men need to heed – the full truth of what needs to happen to achieve continence results as well as good health, weight and fitness objectives. The program is well designed, directly written and a must read for any partner as well. The video material from the author further explains the program and adds to a job well done.’
Barrie Blackwell, 74yo – ‘Congratulations on an exceptionally valuable work. I wish I had this fifteen years ago when my prostate was removed’.
Earl Gould (won’t say how old he is) ‘I love the jokes. This is a very positive book written for men living with prostate cancer not dying from it. The ‘every man’s’ language makes it clear and the videos are a real bonus.’
